Secrets for Motivation and Energy
Ever since Calgon commercials promised to “take me away,” (and I don’t mean by a shady character in a windowless van), I have sought out ways to pamper myself. I take a bath almost every night. And by every night, I mean my husband asks me, “What’s up?” when I don’t follow my evening ritual.

The Challenges of Time: Five Tips to Reclaim Control, Manage, & Calm

He’s old enough to make his own plans, participate in sports and still need an on-call chauffeur. Because everyone at our house is busy, I often feel like I live in my car.
